Demand Management, a new show by L.A.-based artist Olga Koumoundouros opens at the REDCAT gallery in Los Angeles today. Curated by Clara Kim and Ryan Inouye, the show serves as a social commentary on class and the grossly unbalanced wealth distribution in America.

The work is an amalgamation of items representing basic daily human needs—such as a refrigerator, toilet and mattress—which the artist uses to create an architectural pie chart portraying the 1% of the U.S. population that holds 34% of its wealth. Set in a circular room, the sculpture is a dynamic work in which violence and beauty converge.
